Yes!!! The life lessons that she will learn from this will far supersede the gymnastics accomplishments.Thank you to everyone for sharing your experiences and stories. It is always nice to hear how these things affect other children and get advice on how to handle it. I am an advice seeker by nature and find other experiences helpful.
To be honest, I'm not sure of exactly how my DD would describe it other than the brief description I got. After reading this thread, on the way to gym yesterday, I reminded her about our conversation the night before and just told her that she was having a temporary issue that would resolve itself and that she shouldn't think that she was a bad gymnast, beam worker, or athlete because of it.
Told her I loved her, believed in her, and was still in awe of all the incredible things she could do right now at this moment both in and out of the gym. I left the door open for her to talk if she wanted or if she wanted to have some privates to deal with it but other than that, I don't plan on bringing it up again.
This past 6 months have been the most difficult so far in her young life but she still loves the sport and keeps believing in her ability to gain new skills. I guess in my eyes, her continued dedication is the win...and WHEN she gets her series connected again, well, that will just be icing on the cupcake.
I couldn't agree more! She'll be invincible!Yes!!! The life lessons that she will learn from this will far supersede the gymnastics accomplishments.
@cbifoja | I want to meet your daughter and see her in action. I feel like I could learn a thing or two from her perseverance and attitude! I've been following your posts over the months about her current struggles and find it fascinating and inspiring that she continues to keep truckin', despite all of the adversity.

My DD describes her BWO-BWO as losing herself after the first one. Doesn't know where she is and can't control her body, meaning she goes way too fast (but can't slow down) and this does not allow her brain to catch up to her body. It is like a bit of vertigo as she explains it. Other backwards stuff she does not have that problem, particularly on floor. I believe this is because she "knows where the floor is." Her brain has tons of experience walking on the floor and knowing it is the lowest point, so spatially there is not "vertigo-like" confusion. But on beam, well, we all know the beam is NOT the lowest point.
yes, that could be a reason. scar tissue in the ear from to many ear infections. undiagnosed vertigo, etc;
Same with DD. She rarely cries. And then it seems like a week later, maybe two, the skill comes. Sometimes they just need to get their frustration out so they can get past it.My DD rarely cries but when she does it sometimes clears the air and she can move forward. I know it's hard to see/listen to but that may have been the best thing for her.
Good luck!
